RE: Drop in the bucket

Each quarter, about 20 million mpu are sold.
Dell has about 8 per cent market share ~ 1.6 million.
10,500 is about 2/3 of 1 per cent of Dell's quarterly unit sales.

A drop is 0.05 ml.
A 5 gallon bucket holds about 21 liters, 21,000 ml or 420,000 drops.

Your metaphor is off target about 630 orders of magnitude.

Next time use a much bigger drop or a much smaller bucket.
